Stretching the believability quotient

Concord, NH - New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley issued the following statement in response to the New Hampshire Republican Party's continued hypocrisy regarding taxes.

"I find unbelievable that the same party that just elected as Chair a person with a lien of over $90,000 for years of back taxes continue to keep unpaid taxes in the news. When Congresswoman Kuster became aware of her small back tax bill, she immediately paid it in full. When Chairwoman Horn's tax woes were revealed, she called it part of 'personal attacks on my family.'" said Buckley.

"From Chairwoman Horn's tax lien, to former Congressman Frank Guinta's mystery bank account, I would say that Republicans should worry about getting their own personal financial houses in order before spending any more time thinking about anyone elses'."

What Buckley fails to note is that Horn has explained her family's financial trouble, especially her husbands drop in pay, that led to the liens.

So far Kuster has refused to adequately explain her delinquencies. Don't think anyone should buy for a moment that Kuster repeatedly lost track of $40,000 in taxes up against at $2 million in assets.
